In the past, a big family had to live in a small house. People kept in touch with relatives and friends by writing letters. They listened to the radio for news and other information. They used to go to school or work on foot or by bike. Now more and more people live in big and bright flats. People can talk to each other over their mobile phones or on the Internet. Almost every family has TVs and computers. Today, people still ride their bikes to school or work, but they can also travel by bus, taxi, or underground. More and more families have their own. In a word, people live better than before. I'm so excited to see these changes! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ID:3578834 第 1 页 共 2 页 2024—2025学年度第二学期第一次学业质量检测八年级 英语 答题卡 学校： 班级： 姓名： 座号： 注 意 事 项 1. 答题前请将姓名、班级、考场、座号和准考证号填写清楚。 2. 客观题答题,必须使用2B铅笔填涂,修改时用橡皮擦干净。 3. 主观题必须使用黑色签字笔书写。 4. 必须在题号对应的答题区域内作答,超出答题区域书写无效。 5. 保持答卷清洁完整。 正确填涂 缺考标记 准 考 证 号 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 A B C D 2 A B C D 3 A B C D 4 A B C D 5 A B C D 6 A B C D 7 A B C D 8 A B C D 9 A B C D 10 A B C D 11 A B C D 12 A B C D 13 A B C D 14 A B C D 15 A B C D 16 A B C D 17 A B C D 18 A B C D 19 A B C D 20 A B C D 21 A B C D 22 A B C D 23 A B C D 24 A B C D 25 A B C D 26 A B C D 27 A B C D 28 A B C D 29 A B C D 30 A B C D 31 A B C D 32 A B C D 33 A B C D 34 A B C D 35 A B C D 36 A B C D 37 A B C D 38 A B C D 39 A B C D 40 A B C D 41 A B C D 42 A B C D 43 A B C D 44 A B C D 45 A B C D 46 A B C D 47 A B C D 48 A B C D 49 A B C D 50 A B C D 51 A B C D 52 A B C D 53 A B C D 54 A B C D 55 A B C D 56 A B C D 57 A B C D 58 A B C D 59 A B C D 60 A B C D 61 A B C D E F G 62 A B C D E F G 63 A B C D E F G 64 A B C D E F G 65 A B C D E F G 一.选择题(95分) 五.词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，计10分） 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 六.选词填空（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，计10分）(10分) 76 77 78 79 ID:3578834 第 2 页 共 2 页 请使用2B铅笔填涂选择题答案等选项及考号 80 81 82 83 84 85 七.回答问题(注意词数)（每小题2分，满分10分） 86 87 88 89 90 五.作文(25分) 91. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Units one . total阶段测试。第一部分，听对话回答问题。本部分共有十道小题，每小题你将听到一段对话，每段对话听两遍。在听每段对话前，你将有5秒钟的时间阅读题目，听完后你还有5秒钟的时间选出你认为最合适的答案。请在听到嘀的信号后进入下一小题。One, what did you do for your mom on her first day?

I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza .I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza .It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought. Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza. But there was still something special about it for me .The tower got its name because it really did lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city. I do not think it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down. It is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect. It seems to say. And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it. 86.What is this passage about? 87.What did the writer use to think? 88.How old is the Leaning Tower of Pisa? 89.
